Mental Unfaithfulness, a New Concept Name Coined by Eurydice Hazzard, to Describe an Ages-Old Behavior That's More Destructive than Most People Realize

Mental unfaithfulness is harmful because it's harder to detect beforehand. Take a closer look at it from Eurydice Hazzard's perspective. 

Mental unfaithfulness is slightly different from emotional cheating. While the latter seldom turns into physical cheating, the former is a term Eurydice Hazzard, the Woman in the Woods and the Reaper, proposed to describe non-physical unfaithfulness that always evolves into physical infidelity.

Below is a rundown of the September 2022 post in which Hazzard has deconstructed the destructive patterns of this type of cheating.

The Society's Acceptance of "Harmless" Infidelity

Our society's silent acceptance of mental unfaithfulness makes it more harmful than emotional infidelity.

Articles that try to gloss over the mental unfaithfulness of committed men by saying they're wired to do so reflect everything wrong with the internet and our society. They write off this problematic behavior with the textual equivalent of a shrug, giving men a license to continue cheating.

You Can't Read Minds

Hazzard had the distinct advantage of her psychic abilities telling her when a partner became unfaithful, but not everyone has that privilege.

Mental unfaithfulness is more harmful than outright cheating because you're not psychic. Therefore, you don't even know when your significant other starts taking an interest in someone else, even when your instinct is screaming at you to see your partner's overly friendly attitude for the emotional affair that it so clearly is.

You Are in a Loveless Relationship

Forget what the science says. Research might downplay this destructive behavior today, but it's highly likely to overturn that stance with a "new development" tomorrow.

If your partner truly loves you, they would never cheat on you, period. They wouldn't give other people more than a passing glance because they have eyes only for you.

If your partner is looking at other people, they never loved you to begin with. Either that or they fell out of love with you. It's not your fault, but not moving on at this first sign of mental unfaithfulness is your fault. Have self-respect; move on instead of wasting oxygen on someone like that.

There's more where that came from on Eurydice Hazzard's Facebook page. Every post echoes (Don't Fear) the Reaper meaning, from the style of writing to the use of certain phrases and words that raise eyebrows and elicit goosebumps to the overall message in each post.

Here's one way to go to Heaven: join Hazzard's Heavenbound List by helping her regain sole custody of her son, who remains under the care of a devil (her biological mother) and a beast (her abusive ex).
